Pharmacological action of
Aklast - an inhibitor of bone resorption, a representative of bisphosphonates. Zoledronic acid belongs to the class of aminobisphosphonates, acts mainly on bone, inhibits the activity of osteoclasts and bone resorption. The selective effect of bisphosphonates on bone tissue is based on a high affinity for mineralized bone tissue. After iv administration, zoledronic acid is rapidly redistributed to the bones and, like other bisphosphonates, is localized mainly at the sites of bone remodeling. The main molecular target of zoledronic acid in osteoclasts is the enzyme farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase (FPS), while the possibility of other mechanisms of action of the drug is not excluded. The long period of action of Aklasts is determined by high affinity for the active center of PPS and pronounced affinity for mineralized bone tissue. On experimental models of accelerated osteoresorption shown that zoledronic acid significantly inhibits bone resorption without undesirable effects on bone formation, mineralization and mechanical properties, dose-dependently reduces the activity of osteoclasts and the frequency of activation of new remodeling foci in both trabecular and cortical (Haversian) bones, without causing the formation of fibrous bone and aberrant accumulation osteoid.
Indications
bone disease Paget's disease
prevention and treatment of osteoporosis caused by the use of corticosteroids
prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis (in patients with osteopenia)
postmenopausal osteoporosis (to reduce the risk of vertebral gonorrhea) fractures in men and women with fractures of the proximal femur
osteoporosis in men.
Contraindications
- severe disturbances in mineral metabolism, including hypocalcemia
- pregnancy
- lactation (breastfeeding)
- children and adolescents under 18 years of age (because the safety and efficacy of using Aklasts in this category of patients have not been studied) srdlp - Hypersensitivity to zoledronic acid, or to any other component of the drug, or to any bisphosphonates.
Aklast is not recommended for use in patients with severe impaired renal function (CC & <30 ml / min).
Use during pregnancy and lactation
The drug Aklast is contraindicated during pregnancy and during lactation (breastfeeding).
There are no data on the use of zoledronic acid in pregnant women.
Experimental studies have shown the presence of teratogenicity in one of the experimental rodent species. The potential risk when used in humans is unknown.
Special instructions
The physician should inform patients of the main manifestations of hypocalcemia and ensure regular monitoring of patients at risk.
Aclast therapy in patients with Paget's bone disease should only be performed by qualified doctors with experience in treating this
disease.
Before prescribing the drug, serum creatinine levels should be determined.
In the presence of hypocalcemia, before treatment with Aklasts, adequate doses of calcium and vitamin D should be treated. Other existing mineral metabolism disorders (for example, hypoparathyroidism, decreased calcium absorption in the intestine) should be treated and regular monitoring of patients with hypocalcemia should be carried out.
To reduce the incidence of adverse events observed within 3 days after administration of the drug, you can prescribe paracetamol or ibuprofen immediately after infusion of Aklast.
Risk factors for developing osteonecrosis are oncological diseases, concomitant therapy (e.g. chemotherapy, radiation therapy, treatment of corticosteroids) and the presence of other concomitant diseases (e.g. anemia, coagulopathy, history of infections, dental diseases).
Composition
1 vial (100 ml) contains:
Active ingredient: 5 mg zoledronic acid
monohydrate Excipients: mannitol sodium citrate water for injection.
Dosage and administration
The drug is administered as an iv infusion. Before the introduction of Aklasts, adequate hydration of the body should be ensured. This is especially important for patients over the age of 65, as well as for patients receiving diuretic therapy.
For treatment, the recommended dose of Aklast is 5 mg (1 vial - 100 ml of solution) iv once a year. If calcium and vitamin D intake from the diet is insufficient, patients with osteoporosis should additionally be prescribed calcium and vitamin D. preparations

When using the drug in patients with fractures of the femur, with osteoporosis in men and osteoporosis caused by taking corticosteroids, there was no decrease in plasma calcium concentration of less than 1.87 mmol / L.
When using the drug in patients for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis, there was no decrease in plasma calcium concentration of less than 1.87 mmol / L. In patients with Paget's disease in approximately 1% of cases transient hypocalcemia was detected, accompanied by clinical manifestations.
Impaired renal function. With the on / in the introduction of bisphosphonates, including zoledronic acid, there have been cases of impaired renal function, manifested by an increase in blood creatinine concentration and in rare cases, acute renal failure. Renal dysfunction with the use of zoledronic acid was observed in patients with a history of renal pathology or additional risk factors (for example, oncological diseases requiring chemotherapy, the use of nephrotoxic drugs, diuretics, or severe dehydration). Most of these patients received therapy with zoledronic acid at a dose of 4 mg every 3-4 weeks, however, in some cases, renal dysfunction was noted after a single use of zoledronic acid. During therapy with Aklast for 3 years in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the frequency of increased creatinine in plasma and the development of renal failure did not differ from that with placebo. In patients treated with Aklast, somewhat more often, a transient increase in blood creatinine concentration was observed within 10 days after infusion compared with placebo (1.8 and 0.8%, respectively).
When using Aklast for 2 years in men with osteoporosis, the frequency of changes in creatinine clearance and the development of impaired renal function was similar to that in the alendronic acid group.
In patients with osteoporosis caused by the use of corticosteroids, during therapy with Aklast, the frequency of changes in creatinine clearance and the development of impaired renal function was similar to that in the risedronic acid group.
Reactions at the injection site. When using the drug Aklast in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis in 0.7% of cases, redness, swelling and / or soreness at the injection site were noted.
In patients with femoral fractures, the frequency of reactions at the injection site was comparable to that in the placebo group. In the treatment of osteoporosis in men, the frequency of reactions at the injection site of Aklast was 2.6% (compared with 1.4% in the alendronic acid group). In patients with osteoporosis caused by the use of corticosteroids, there were no reactions at the injection site. When using the drug for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis, the frequency of reactions at the injection site of Aklast was 1.1% (compared with 2.0% in the placebo group).
Osteonecrosis of the jaw. Cases of development of osteonecrosis (most often the jaw) occurred mainly in cancer patients receiving treatment with bisphosphonates after tooth extraction or other dental procedures. Most patients had symptoms of a local infectious and inflammatory process, including osteomyelitis. In clinical trials in patients with osteoporosis, a case of osteonecrosis of the jaw occurred in 1 patient taking Aklast and 2 patients taking placebo. In all three cases, resolution of the process was noted. With the use of the drug Aklast in patients with fractures of the femur, with osteoporosis in men and osteoporosis caused by taking corticosteroids, as well as with the use of the drug for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis, there were no cases of development of jaw osteonecrosis.
Selected reports of adverse events
The following AEs have been observed in clinical practice with Aklast drug therapy without indicating a causal relationship with the use of the drug (the frequency of AE has not been established): hypersensitivity reactions, including in rare cases, bronchial obstruction, urticaria, angioedema and individual reports of the development of anaphylactic reactions, including anaphylactic shock. In rare cases, when using the drug Aklast in clinical practice, patients have impaired renal function, including renal failure, requiring hemodialysis, especially in patients with a history of renal disease or additional risk factors (for example, with concomitant therapy with nephrotoxic drugs, diuretics or with severe dehydration).
In very rare cases, the development of the following AEs has been reported: dehydration due to fever, vomiting and diarrhea occurring after administration of the drug, a marked decrease in blood pressure in patients with risk factors, jaw osteonecrosis, scleritis and inflammation in the orbit.
